60-MINUTE TOUR
K-12 Grade - Up to 25 students and 5 adults
Special Education - Up to 17 participants (including students and adults)
Join us for an engaging tour that highlights our subway station and transit history. Preserved in time, Court Street Station was a real operating subway station from 1936-1946. In 1976 the station re-opened as the New York Transit Exhibit, and today is home to the New York Transit Museum. Your group will engage in hands-on activities and explore exhibits, objects, and vintage train cars currently on display. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about the evolution of public transportation through various exhibitions.
Important Note:
We have updated our group rates, tour size, and added additional time slots.
The New York Transit Museum is dedicated to telling and preserving the stories of mass transportation – extraordinary engineering feats, workers who labored in the tunnels over 100 years ago, communities that were drastically transformed, and the ever-evolving technology, design, and ridership of a system that runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Opening hours reflect the group tour schedule (Wed-Sat). Please visit our website for the general public hours.
